Newspaper Lied About Hacking Then Admitted The Truth When
Caught This Year

January 21. 2012

This is another in the ongoing series of Judiciary Report
articles, regarding the phone hacking scandal I broke first via a police
complaint I filed in October 2005, with the Metropolitan
Police in London, England. On November 30, 2011 I further did an article
with evidence presented, regarding email hacking, a byproduct of the phone
hacking scandal, due to my emails being hacked and published in newspapers
attributed to other people: The
Daily Mail Is Actively Engaging In Hacking, Phone Hacking And Wiretapping
.

The Judiciary Report was proven right again
in claims I made first, as t

his week it
was revealed by the Guardian newspaper in London, another blogger, Nightjack, real name Patrick Foster, 24, was
the victim of email hacking, in the News Corp phone hacking scandal. He
was hacked by an unscrupulous journalist that broke the law in illegally
accessing his email account.

The newspaper printed items from Nightjack's emails, as well as his
identity, then lied to the public regarding the information obtained on
him, claiming it was not done via hacking. This criminal misconduct led to
Nightjack's award winning blog being closed and the blogger being
suspended from his job.

Times reporter hacked into police blogger's email account

Tuesday 17 January 2012 15.15 EST - A controversial 2009 Times article
"outing" an anonymous police blogger called Nightjack was based
on material obtained by email hacking, it has emerged in evidence to the
Leveson inquiry. Times editor James Harding told the inquiry on Tuesday he had
disciplined the reporter involved for accessing the email account by
giving him a written warning.

He said in a witness statement: "There was an incident where the
newsroom was concerned that a reporter had gained unauthorised access to
an email account. When it was brought to my attention, the journalist
faced disciplinary action. The reporter believed he was seeking to gain
information in the public interest but we took the view he had fallen
short of what was expected of a Times journalist. He was issued with a
formal written warning for professional misconduct."...

Harding did not disclose the reporter's identity in his Leveson
statement, nor did he reveal that the hacking had led to a published Times
article. The Times did not state in its original story that the blogger's
identity had been obtained by penetrating Horton's Hotmail account. It
said Foster had "deduced" Nightjack's identity.

Earlier witness statements, by News International's chief executive Tom
Mockridge and the Times' lawyer Simon Toms, did not disclose that
unauthorised email access had resulted in a published article. They
referred only to "attempted" access allegedly denied by the
reporter. Mockridge later corrected his statement. The "outing" of Nightjack stirred up controversy at the time,
with some bloggers arguing that it was morally wrong to expose a writer
and thus close down a widely-valued publication...
